Fishing has been a little hit and miss but stripers are being taken in Hell creek and the river end. Yesterday I counted 18 fishermen wade fishing in Hell creek but only saw one fish on a stringer. I have been fishing the river mostly as there seem to be more fish in that area and allot less traffic. But from the reports I have gotten the larger stripers are coming from Hell creek. The water temp. has fallen again with the main lake at 38 and the coves 42. We need a few warm days and nights to warm it up and really get the action going. I did see several bank fishermen catching catfish on the upper end. Good Luck.<br><br>
